Your ideas are right on.
I have seen other units, Glendenning, that have a manual choke cable system
which would be used in an emergency. Don't know if one has to disconnect the
Mathers and connect the cable backup system or if they work in parallel to
the Mathers.
I thought about leaving the old cable system in place, but they were rusted
and very difficult to move. So, I removed them. Perhaps one could replace or
utilize the cables as a backup.
I am going to check with Mathers to see what they recommend.
